"Mirai, has Ōtsutsuki Toneri already awakened the Tenseigan?"
"No, he hasn't."
Uchiha Mirai shook his head. "Toneri's eyes are impure. To awaken the Tenseigan, he needs to transplant a pair of pure Byakugan."
Namikaze Minato immediately added,
"That's why he called Hinata the 'Princess of the Pure Byakugan.' He wants to take her eyes!"
Mirai simply shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.
"But his plan to abduct Hinata already failed," Minato continued. "Now that we're on high alert, it'll be much harder for him to get to her again…"
As he was speaking, Minato's expression suddenly changed.
Just as he was about to say something more, an urgent knock came at the door of the meeting room.
A masked Anbu agent hurried in.
"Lord Mirai, by the time we reached the Hyuga estate, Miss Hanabi was already missing."
"What?!"
Hiashi Hyuga shot to his feet.
Could it be…?
Mirai let out a quiet sigh. "The moment I learned of the attack on Hinata, I immediately sent people to protect Hanabi. I didn't even stop to inform Hiashi. Unfortunately… we were still too late."
Hinata, upon hearing her sister had been taken, rushed over to Mirai in a panic.
"Mirai-sensei, please! You have to save Hanabi!"
She had always cherished her younger sister dearly. And now, knowing that Hanabi had fallen into Toneri's hands—possibly to have her eyes gouged out—she was completely distraught.
Mirai gently patted her shoulder and said with a calm smile, "Don't worry, Hinata."
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Hanabi."
"I'm heading to the moon."
"You're going to the moon? Then I'm coming with you!" Hinata said without hesitation.
Mirai paused for a moment, then nodded. Taking her along actually worked in his favor—he could use the power of the Giant Tenseigan to help Hinata evolve her eyes into Tenseigan.
Once they had a complete Tenseigan genetic blueprint, with today's ninja world technology, mass-producing Tenseigan would become entirely possible.
Just imagining a future ninja army—half wielding Rinnegan, half Tenseigan, all equipped with chakra armor and scientific ninja tools—Mirai couldn't help but feel excited.
And when those arrogant Ōtsutsuki finally descended upon the ninja world, only to see the "inferior beings" wielding such overwhelming power—what kind of faces would they make?
"Hinata, hold on tight."
"Mm."
Grasping her hand, Mirai activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished.
...
The Moon.
Inside a strange, otherworldly space.
Hanabi Hyuga sat with her eyes blindfolded in white cloth, her face full of fear and dread.
"Onee-chan… when are you coming to save me…?"
As her voice trembled with sobs, a cold, emotionless voice echoed nearby.
"Stop wasting your breath. This is the interior of the moon—no one from the ninja world will ever find you here."
Trying to sound casual, Hanabi asked, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
"Ōtsutsuki Toneri," the man replied indifferently.
"I originally only wanted your pure Byakugan. But my plans to marry Hinata fell through. So now, you'd best start preparing for the worst."
Hanabi blinked under the cloth, confused. "What… worst-case scenario?"
"You'll take your sister's place as my wife. And bear my children."
Just a few words, and Hanabi immediately understood:
This man was completely insane.
He'd not only taken her eyes, but now he was targeting her sister too…
She couldn't hold back anymore. "You're seriously delusional. Do you even know who my sister's teacher is?"
"He's the one who united the entire ninja world. There's nothing he can't do."
"If you don't release me right now, the moment he finds this place, you're done for!"
Toneri's voice remained unchanged, as if nothing could faze him.
"No matter who comes, their fate will be the same—death."
Hanabi scoffed. "Big talk for a guy who's probably gonna wet his pants when he sees him."
Toneri's eyes narrowed at her sass. Clearly, he wasn't used to someone so spirited. He gave a cold snort.
"Very well. Let me offer the ninja world a small taste of punishment first."
"Once you witness what I can do—how I can destroy the world with a mere gesture—you'll understand the truth of my words."
He weaved hand signs, casting a spiritual technique that briefly restored Hanabi's sight, despite her missing eyes.
Before she could even take in her surroundings, Toneri dragged her to the moon's surface.
"Look closely. The decaying system built by the Sage of Six Paths… is about to crumble."
With a casual wave of his hand, a massive meteor suspended above the moon began to plummet toward the ninja world.
Hanabi's heart skipped a beat.
If something that huge hit the surface… wouldn't that mean the deaths of countless innocents?
Just as panic began to take hold, bolts of lightning danced across space—
And in an instant, the falling meteor was reduced to dust, scattering harmlessly into the void.
Toneri frowned slightly.
So they reacted that quickly? To intercept his attack at the very first moment…
Hanabi's expression, meanwhile, lit up with joy.
"It's Onee-chan! And Lord Mirai!"
"They're here to save me!"
Seeing her excitement, Toneri merely let out a grunt of disapproval and brought her down to the moon's surface.
Uchiha Mirai and Hinata arrived not long after.
The moment they landed, Hinata couldn't help but call out,
"Hanabi! Your eyes—!"
Hanabi's lip quivered, and tears welled up as she began to sob.
"Onee-chan, he took my eyes! You have to help me get them back!"
Hinata's expression darkened, her gaze sharp as a blade as she turned to face Toneri.
"Ōtsutsuki Toneri… I will make you pay for this."
But Toneri remained unfazed. He stepped forward, voice calm.
"You've saved me the trouble of going down to the ninja world to fetch you."
Then, turning his eyes to Mirai, he added coolly:
"So this is the man you rely on to defy my will?"
"If I kill him now, you'll have no choice but to obey."
Mirai raised an eyebrow at Toneri's supreme confidence.
Ōtsutsuki really were something else. That smug, delusional arrogance seemed to run in their blood.
Did he truly believe that just having a Tenseigan made him invincible?
